eq:Stats  

Every character in EQ has seven primary stats, as well as AC, attack, HP, and mana. All stats can be modified by buffs, and items. Additionally, each race starts off with different levels of primary stats. The secondary stats (AC, ATK, HP, and mana) can also be modified by buffs and items, but their base values are derived from your level and primary stats.

The Primary Stats

Wis -- Wisdom modifies the manapool of clerics, druids, shaman, rangers, and paladins, and also affects how fast certain skills are learned.

Int -- Intelligence modifies the manapool of enchanters, necromancers, wizards, and magicians, and also affects how fast certain skills are learned.

Str -- Strength provides a small bonus to attack and max hit, and also affects how fast certain skills are learned

Sta -- Stamina affects your base HP

Stat Caps

• ............
• 80 - 355
• 85 - 380
• 90 - 405

In addition to these innate cap increases, you can purchase alternate abilities that raise your cap:

• Planar Power (POP) = +5 to all stat caps per level (twenty levels for increase of 100)

Casting classes also get this AA:

• Innate Enlightenment (POP) = +10 to INT and WIS stat caps per level (five levels for increase of 50)

Priest classes also get this bonus:

• +5 Wisdom Cap per Level above 65

Additionally:

• Upon completing the first tier of Dragons of Norrath Progression, all stat caps increase by 10.

Finally:

• Heroic stats raise the cap in addition to the value of the stat as well as other modifications based on the stat
• Tribute offers stat cap options

Total Possible Stats:

• Base + AAs + DoN = 455 + 75 + 10 = 540 total possible (590 intelligence/wisdom for casting classes with Innate Enlightenment)
